Although Yuan Chonghuan's appearance did alleviate the tense situation in Liaodong to a certain extent, it had no effect on changing the overall situation.
Because not long after the follow-up, Yuan Chonghuan was charged with treason by Zhu Youjian.
At that time, Nurhachi died, Huang Taiji was junior to the throne, and the situation in Houjin was unstable.
As for the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan took the opportunity to regain the lost territory. The Ming Dynasty's army changed from its previous decadence and its morale was high.
No matter how you look at it, this is the best time for Ming Dynasty to regain Liaodong and Northern Liaoning.
Even if the operation is good, Houjin can be defeated directly.
This will completely eliminate the enemies to the north.
But time and destiny dictated that such a good opportunity was missed by the Ming court.
At this critical juncture, Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, and Zhu Youjian killed Yuan Chonghuan.
The situation in Liaodong, which had already improved greatly, has completely fallen into mud.
I don’t know if the Ming Dynasty is destined to perish, or if Zhu Youjian is really not good enough to be an emperor.
Anyway, the great opportunity that could have extended the life of the Ming Dynasty for twenty years was ruined like this.
When Yuan Chonghuan was making great achievements in Liaodong and regaining lost territory, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, who originally trusted Yuan Chonghuan very much, began to have some doubts.
Because Yuan Chonghuan's prestige on the front line is growing day by day, and he holds military power in his hands.
As Yuan Chonghuan regained lost ground one after another, whether it was among the Ming Dynasty's army, the hearts of the people in Liaodong, or even in the Ming Dynasty's court.
Many people hold Yuan Chonghuan in high esteem.
This violated the taboo of the emperor Zhu Youjian.
It happened that at this time, Yuan Chonghuan held the sword above and directly beheaded Mao Wenlong, who was then deputy commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief Qianshi Pingliao commander-in-chief, and left commander-in-chief.
Mao Wenlong is no ordinary person either.
When Yuan Chonghuan killed him, his rank was not lower than Yuan Chonghuan at all, and even half a level higher than Yuan Chonghuan.
No matter what, at least he is on an equal footing with Yuan Chonghuan.
And Yuan Chonghuan directly killed Mao Wenlong without any discussion from the court or approval from Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian.
Although he used the Shangfang sword given to him by Zhu Youjian.
But everyone knows about Shang Fang’s sword.
At most it is just a mascot, just a symbol.
"Behead first and tell later" is a saying that just listens to it, no one will take it seriously at all.
But Yuan Chonghuan took it seriously.
He used the Shangfang sword given to him by Zhu Youjian to kill Bimao Wenlong, and then asked the Ming court for instructions.
Really kill first and tell later.
In fact, if you have to kill first and then tell later, it's not impossible. Just kill an inconspicuous little person.
No matter how bad it is, you can just kill someone whose level is lower than your own, and this can be justified.
At least in the court and in front of Zhu Youjian, there are reasons to say it.
But Yuan Chonghuan happened to kill Mao Wenlong, who was half a level above him, which was a bit difficult to handle.
Not only the officials of the Ming Dynasty, but also Zhu Youjian were frightened by Yuan Chonghuan's move.
Today I will give you a Shangfang sword, and you will really kill first and then show off.
If I give you a golden mace in the future and let you beat up the emperor and kill the traitorous ministers, do you really want to beat up the emperor?
At this time, Yuan Chonghuan completely lost Zhu Youjian's trust.
Zhu Youjian not only distrusted Yuan Chonghuan, but also began to have doubts about Yuan Chonghuan.
Yuan Chonghuan had already accumulated a high prestige in Liaodong, and now he directly killed Mao Wenlong, a general who was half a level above him.
In addition, Yuan Chonghuan held heavy troops.
If Yuan Chonghuan were a little bolder, wouldn't he want to rebel?
Zhu Youjian began to be madly suspicious of Yuan Chonghuan.
But at this time, although Zhu Youjian was suspicious, he had not yet taken any substantive action, and still did not take back the power in Yuan Chonghuan's hands.
But for Yuan Chonghuan, he was no longer so responsive, but began to observe.
Yuan Chonghuan didn't know that Zhu Youjian's attitude towards him had changed.
After killing Mao Wenlong, he completely took control of the military power in Liaodong and prepared to attack Houjin.
Yuan Chonghuan is unwilling to miss this good opportunity. He wants you to take advantage of Hou Jin's civil strife to deal a fatal blow to Hou Jin.
Before that, Yuan Chonghuan began to ask the court for money and food, and to make preparations for the war.
But because of Zhu Youjian's suspicion of Yuan Chonghuan.
This time, Zhu Youjian did not satisfy Yuan Chonghuan's request.
Whether Yuan Chonghuan wanted money or food, the Ming court did not provide it.
There were even people in the imperial court impeaching Yuan Chonghuan.
Because there is someone behind Mao Wenlong.
Yuan Chonghuan was good at killing Mao Wenlong, which must have touched the interests of some people or groups.
For a time, fierce arguments and debates began again in the court.
As a result, the war in Liaodong was put on hold.
Although Yuan Chonghuan was extremely anxious, there was nothing he could do if the Ming court did not take action.
First came Zhu Youjian's suspicion and distrust, then the partisanship in the court and the impeachment of Yuan Chonghuan.
Zhu Youjian's failure to recall Yuan Chonghuan to the capital immediately was the greatest tolerance for Yuan Chonghuan.
Not to mention allocating money and food to Yuan Chonghuan.
Yuan Chonghuan on the Liaodong side missed the best opportunity to attack Hou Jin due to the wrangling of Ming court officials and Zhu Youjian's indifference.
That is to say, during the delay of the Ming court, Huang Taiji used the fastest speed to deal with the internal problems of Houjin.
After dealing with Houjin's internal problems, it was time to expose the conflicts to the outside world.
And Yuan Chonghuan, the person who indirectly caused Nurhachi's death, was the first target that Huang Taiji wanted to deal with.
Whether it was out of coveting the Ming Dynasty or personal feelings, he would attack Yuan Chonghuan.
Yu Gong, Huang Taiji, as the second emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty after Nurhachi, must definitely expand his territory.
He will definitely fulfill Nurhachi's last wish, and he will definitely want to annex the Ming Dynasty.
The annexation of the Ming Dynasty was the first step to prove his Huang Taiji's unparalleled achievements.
In private, Yuan Chonghuan's shelling indirectly led to Nurhaci's death.
As Nurhachi's son, he will definitely avenge his father's murder.
Moreover, because of Yuan Chonghuan's existence, Huang Taiji could very well transfer all the internal conflicts of their Hou Jin Dynasty to Yuan Chonghuan.
Because Yuan Chonghuan killed their founding emperor Nurhachi of the Later Jin Dynasty.
Dealing with Yuan Chonghuan is the best excuse and reason to order all the post-jin forces.
Faced with the reason of avenging Nurhachi, all Houjin people would not and dare not refuse.
And this is precisely the best excuse for Huang Taiji to order everyone.
And Huang Taiji can use this excuse to make those who disobey him fight in the front line to consume their power.
At that time, Yuan Chonghuan will also be eliminated, the great revenge will be avenged, and the Ming Dynasty will be restored.
Moreover, the opposing voices within Houjin also disappeared.
How could Huang Taiji miss such an opportunity?
It just so happened that during the period when Huang Taiji was most uncomfortable and the internal fighting within Houjin was the fiercest, the Ming court actually did not take any action.
It gave Huang Taiji time to breathe and time to conquer all the ministries.
From Huang Taiji's point of view, it was as if God wanted to help him.
After handling the internal problems of Hou Jin, Huang Taiji gathered most of Hou Jin's troops and began to invade the Liaodong area of Ming Dynasty.
Facing the menacing Houjin cavalry, Yuan Chonghuan was a little overwhelmed.
Although Yuan Chonghuan did have several victories in his previous battles with Hou Jin, and he also recovered a lot of lost ground.
But he knew very well that the Ming Dynasty's army was completely unable to confront Hou Jin's cavalry head-on.
The previous advantage was entirely due to Houjin's own internal problems, which allowed them to take advantage.
Now Hou Jin's cavalry, led by Huang Taiji, made a comeback.
And this time it was even more aggressive, and Yuan Chonghuan felt a little unsure.
All he could do was to hold on and not confront Hou Jin's army head-on.
bide your time by hanging on tight.
But I don’t know if Yuan Chonghuan did it intentionally.
Although he could not hold on, he also gave up the route from Liaodong to Beijing.
Huang Taiji, on the other hand, led his troops to bypass the cities where Yuan Chonghuan was guarding and headed directly towards Beijing.
When the Houjin cavalry led by Huang Taiji suddenly appeared at the gate of Beijing, one can imagine the expressions of Zhu Youjian and the ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Yuan Chonghuan is no longer a question of trust or distrust, but a sinner.
Huang Taiji led Hou Jin's army to loot everything near Beijing.
At this time, Yuan Chonghuan, who received the news, came with troops and horses to rescue.
Faced with Yuan Chonghuan who was not rescued in time, Zhu Youjian began to doubt Yuan Chonghuan's motives.
He was able to let Huang Taiji go and directly send troops to Beijing, but Yuan Chonghuan himself was slow to come to the rescue.
In Zhu Youjian's opinion, Yuan Chonghuan did this on purpose.
Huang Taiji was deliberately let in to show his own importance.
Or maybe they wanted to show Zhu Youjian with these troops, so that Zhu Youjian knew that Yuan Chonghuan was capable of surrounding Beijing.
This was simply threatening him, Zhu Youjian, and was tantamount to rebellion.
Once he had this idea, Zhu Youjian couldn't hold it back any longer.
In Zhu Youjian's view, Yuan Chonghuan was self-respecting and waiting for the opportunity to rebel.
Although Zhu Youjian was not a qualified emperor and had not done much in governing the country, he had a lot of suspicions and ambitions that an emperor should have.
After Yuan Chonghuan slightly improved the situation in Liaodong, Zhu Youjian began to become suspicious of Yuan Chonghuan.
This is somewhat similar to Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor who killed heroes.
Huang Taiji led his troops to directly invade the suburbs of Beijing, which made Zhu Youjian extremely unhappy.
However, the military power at that time was still in the hands of Yuan Chonghuan, and Yuan Chonghuan also led troops to return for reinforcements.
Therefore, no matter how unhappy Zhu Youjian was, he would not show it at this time.
After Yuan Chonghuan rushed to the aid of Beijing, a relatively fierce war broke out with Huang Taiji outside Beijing.
Although Huang Taiji finally retreated, this war was definitely not a victory for the Ming Dynasty.
Just kidding, Beijing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
The aliens actually reached the city wall directly.
This is what happened under the defense of Liaodong's defenders.
Without those border officers and soldiers in Liaodong, the city of Beijing would have changed hands long ago.
In short, this time, it was a great shame and humiliation for Zhu Youjian.
Originally, Zhu Youjian had already seen the hope of regaining Liaodong, and he was also ambitious and ambitious.
But he didn't expect that within a few days of this good life, he would be beaten directly into the city of Beijing.
The appearance of Huang Taiji not only shattered Zhu Youjian's dream, but also slapped Zhu Youjian hard on the face.
This made him, the ambitious Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, lose a lot of face.
Yuan Chonghuan, the main person responsible for this matter, has since been moved to the blacklist by Zhu Youjian, and has been included in the key observation targets.
At this time, Yuan Chonghuan was not aware of Zhu Youjian's change in attitude towards him.
In Yuan Chonghuan's view, he actually saved the car.
In fact, with Yuan Chonghuan's deployment in Liaodong, even if Huang Taiji's fighting power was fierce, it would not be able to make much progress.
He has never been able to go any further, and has been stuck there with Daming.
This has to be said that Yuan Chonghuan did have his contribution to the defense of Liaodong.
The stalemate on the battlefield and the situation that cannot go any further are what Huang Taiji, who has just taken office, does not want to see, and what he does not want to see.
Like Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, as an emperor who has just ascended the throne, who doesn't have ambitions yet?
But the difference is that Zhu Youjian wants to drive Huang Taiji out and regain the Liaodong area.
Huang Taiji wanted to go one step further, even conquer Shanhaiguan, completely settle in the Central Plains, replace the Ming Dynasty, and rule the country.
Compared with Huang Taiji's ambitions and dreams, Zhu Youjian's ambition is indeed a bit inadequate.
One is to regain lost territory, and the other is to unify the world.
In terms of height, Huang Taiji is much higher.
Although the Ming Dynasty was indeed in decline at this time, and was even in danger, a skinny camel was bigger than a horse.
No matter how you describe it, the Ming Dynasty ruled the Central Plains for nearly three hundred years.
Even at the end of the game, he is still capable of fighting against the newly rising Houjin.
Even to a certain extent, Hou Jin did not necessarily have an advantage when facing the Ming Dynasty.
At this moment, Yuan Chonghuan is undoubtedly a stumbling block in Huang Taiji's dream of unifying the world.
Because of Yuan Chonghuan's existence, Huang Taiji's march into the Central Plains was greatly delayed.
It can even be said that Huang Taiji's idea has been completely interrupted.
As long as Yuan Chonghuan defends the Liaodong area for one day, it will be impossible for Huang Taiji to defeat him, and he can only waste his time like this.
This is a situation Huang Taiji doesn't want to see.
Because the Ming Dynasty could afford it, but Huang Taiji couldn't afford it.
In view of Yuan Chonghuan's stumbling block, Hou Jin hatched a vicious plan.
